Conveyor dewatering  Excessive water on coal conveyors results in material slough back and spillage on inclined belts.  Water deposited into coal bins affects discharge control.  Uncontrolled material movement on conveyors or from bins is a major safety hazard which must be controlled.  Causes significant downtime, equipment damage, additional clean-up and increased corrosion.  Results in additional operational costs.  A major problem, particularly in the case of underground longwall clearance conveyors.
